Since you already optimized the code, more in particular by unrolling the for loop,
it is actually more like O(n/2) which is quite good.

Thanks all sorted, this is what i used.......
public string Reverse(string WhatToReverse)
{
string str2 = string.Empty;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
//char array
char[] myArray = WhatToReverse.ToCharArray();
for(int i = WhatToReverse.Length-1; i >=0; i--)
{
sb.Append(myArray[i].ToString());
}
str2 = sb.ToString();
return str2;
}
Cheers

Good work! Post something like this and ask how to make it better, and we will honestly try to help (instead of the crappy roundabout ways we proposed to solve the problem earlier). The way I would implement this problem is as follows...
public string ReverseString(string str) {
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = str.Length - 1; i >= 0; --i)
result.Append(str[i]);
return result.ToString();
}
Like I said, show that you have put even a little effort into trying to find the answer by yourself, and we will try to give you the help you need to get it right, but don't expect us to give you the answer from scratch.

Just one adjustment; specify the capacity when you create the StringBuilder:
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(str.Length);
This will allocate a string with the exact right size. This has two advantages:
1. The StringBuilder never has to increase the capacity (which is done by allocating a new string with double the size, and copy the data from the previous string to it).
2. The string returned by the ToString method doesn't have any extra unused characters beyond the actual string. If you don't specify the length, the string may use up to twice as much memory as it needs to.
Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.

Have you considered using Array.Reverse method?
string original = "original";
char[] reverseString = original.ToCharArray();
Array.Reverse(reverseString);
original = string.Empty;
for (int i = 0; i < reverseString.Length; i++)
original += reverseString[i];
I will use Google before asking dumb questions

summing up to new string(Array.Reverse(original.ToCharArray())
or even better a sequence of original.ToCharArray(), Array.Reverse() and new string(char[])

No, you can't do like that. The Array.Reverse method doesn't return the reversed array, it reverses the array in place.

You're right of course. So I'd better turn it into a small method...

Of course, as a quick and dirty hack you could always use a recursive method. I'm not saying you should, but you could. I've seen this done in so many homework assignments and coursework samples.
|
|
|
|
|
The recursive method is pretty neat, actually. Who can resist a one-liner? 
Not very efficient, though.
public string Reverse(string value) { return value.Length > 1 ? Reverse(value.Substring(1)) + value.Substring(0, 1) : value; }

There you go then. The last step is to turn this into a delegate and you're laughing.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, delegates can be used in many ways...
public string Reverse(string value) {
string result = string.Empty;
new List<char>(value.ToCharArray()).ForEach(delegate(char c) { result = c.ToString() + result; });
return result;
}
Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.

i have a static custom class that keeps track of app settings by reading a db, i periodically retrieve a new list, and want to compare that to the static class (both are the same type) how would i go about doing that, would CompareTo() work for this?
|
|
|
|
|
Have you considered creating a custom Equals or CompareTo method?
If not you should have. The Equals method from object class compares instances not the data within the objects.

hi.. regarding to this link in your website.. http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/charting.asp
i downloaded the source file.. and when i do it in my laptop.. the textbox with value come out... but when i click on the graph button... the page just disappear.. waht is wrong here?

I think it would be a better idea to ask the author of the article, don't you think?

Did you remember to fill your laptop screen with enough ink?
"On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't.
"I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it."

I want to design a dll, which could be used by few applications, but this dll may not be run (or not be fully functioned) at same time. the requirement is:
1. the first application can create an instance of the dll with fully function.
2. while first application is runing, start second application, it may create an instance, but some of the function is disabled, or it may not create an instance of the dll. until the application 1 closed (or release the control), then the second application can use the fully function of the dll.
Can anybody tell me how I can design this kind of the dll project?
It seems that static variable in the class could not be used for this purpose. static variable is only valid with in an application, but could not be share within few applications. Is it true?
Thank you in advance.

Sounds suspiciously like you need a singleton, but then again its not. Why on earth would you want something like this?
you can have something similar to the following:
<br />
private static int _NumberOfInstances = 0;<br />
<br />
Private static void InstanceCheck()<br />
{<br />
if(_NumberOfInstances > 1)<br />
throw new TooManyInstancesException();<br />
else<br />
_NumberOfInstances++;<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
public void Function1()<br />
{<br />
try<br />
{<br />
InstanceCheck()<br />
...<br />
...<br />
} <br />
catch (TooManyInstancesException tmiex)<br />
{<br />
throw tmiex;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
Each of your methods would be checking the number of instances that are already available. You can then limit the activities based on that.

hi
you could use a mutex[^] to check if the library is already in use or not.
greets
m@u

|

|
|
How can he use a mutex if static variables are not being persisted into different instances of the DLL?
Jeff
|
|
|
|
|
they don't have to.
if you start an application that creates a mutext with a specific name, and then start a second application that tries to create a mutex with the same name, the second application will fail.
in the example of the link i posted you should see how to do it.
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your reply, m@u.
If an application window was closed, but the process is still running due to the application software probelm(I encountered such application programs), and I start the same application again, or I start another application using a same library, will the mutex make the application fail?
I still do not know how to use mutex. I shall study how to use it.
